Instant Pot Whole Chicken

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 pounds Whole Roasting Chicken
• 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

  optional
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Lemon

  quartered
• 1 Medium White Onion

  peeled and quartered

Instructions

• 1 Before getting started, rinse your whole chicken off and pat dry with paper
  towels.
• 2 Then use a large knife to quarter a lemon and medium white onion on a large
  cutting board. Wash and chop up any veggies that you might use, and then set
  aside…
• 3 In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the seasonings.
• 4 Then with your chicken on a large cutting board, sprinkle the seasonings over
  the chicken and cavity.
• 5 Next, stuff the cavity with lemon and onions.
• 6 Add the oil to the Instant Pot, and set it to the high sauté setting.
• 7 Lay the whole chicken in the Instant Pot with the breast facing down. Cook 'til
  golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. This will create that crispy and golden brown,
  rotisserie-style skin that we all know and love!
• 8 Finally, use a pair of tongs to turn the chicken over and let it cook in the oil
  for another 3-4 minutes. Then set aside.
• 9 Start by placing your metal trivet down inside of the Instant Pot with the
  handles up. Then add the chicken broth.
• 10 Place your whole chicken on top of the rack; if you're adding any veggies, this
  is where you'll want to chuck them in.
• 11 Select the manual setting, and let it cook on high for about 6 minutes per
  pound.* When the timer goes off, naturally release the pressure for about 20
  more minutes.
• 12 Once the pressure has naturally released, remove the chicken from the Instant
  Pot and let rest on a cutting board for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and
  serving.
• 13 That's it! Serve and enjoy with any sides while fresh and hot.
